Lana Panfilova, Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia, Lana Panfilova’s life is a bridge between intellect and heart, East and West, loss and renewal. She holds degrees in the Humanities, International Relations, and Transpersonal Psychology, along with a certificate in Nursing. Trained in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, T-Group Facilitation, Emotional Matrix Coaching, and Cross-Cultural Awareness, she is also a certified Transformational Coach and Facilitator dedicated to guiding others toward inner coherence and authentic connection.
Lana began her career teaching Russian Language and World Literature before moving into corporate and academic leadership development. She has designed and facilitated programs for organizations including United Airlines, CBS Interactive, Aha Radio, Adswizz, and Stanford University, where she created courses on Building Trust in Organizations, Emotional Intelligence, and Cross-Cultural Awareness for the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
Her life changed profoundly after the passing of her beloved partner, Hugh. That loss became a sacred initiation—awakening a deeper calling to help others heal through grief, forgiveness, and love. From that journey emerged her GriefShare Reflection Cards, AfterLoss Cards, and other healing tools designed to open the heart, inspire reflection, and restore faith in life’s continuity.
Lana’s life purpose is to expand the capacity to love—through forgiveness, compassion, and understanding. She believes that grief, when met with presence, becomes an alchemy of the soul—a passage through which we rediscover our connection to one another and to the Divine. Today, her work integrates “Heart Intelligence,” emotional transformation, and spiritual wisdom to help individuals and organizations move from fear to trust, from separation to unity, and from loss to love.
